mitt romney gives a big foreign policy speech in virginia today, but over the weekend in florida, he focused on taxes and president obama. >> they will ultimately have to raise taxes on middle income families by $4 million a year. >> reporter: since last week's debate, which romney is widely regarded as having won, both sides argued the other was dishonest. >> he was a little taken aback at the brazenness with which governor romney walked away from so many of the positions on which he's run. >> reporter: their truth war now on tv. >> not telling the truth about mitt romney's tax plan. >> this was dishonest. >> i'm not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut. >> the governor knows his $5 trillion tax cut isn't too popular, so a few weeks before the election, he's trying to pretend it doesn't exist. >> reporter: president obama at a star-studded fundraising concert in los angeles sunday heads to san francisco today with romney's poll numbers improving. >> they're looking very good. i feel very good. >> reporter: after the debate, romney is within two points of the president. and tomorrow, bo

awaiting a foreign policy speech by romney. this is a brand-new hour of america's live on a monday, columbus day. how are you doing? >> i'm patti ann brown in for martha maccallum today. the governor begins in an hour. his remarks range from hopes for peace in the middle east to suspect things about the attack on 9/11 in libya. he says, the attacks on libya should not be seen as random acts. they are attacks that are playing out across the broader middle east. bill: he says i believe america does not lead others will follow. i think what that goes to is the power vacuum that is now open for moscow or beijing, or perhaps a fundamentalist group to fill that power vacuum. and all the hot spots that pop up around the world, how do you think governor romney can make that case? >> i think he can make a reasonable argument there. i've read the excerpts of the speech made available and they seem to be effective language to criticize the administration on a number of points and create a contrast, not only on things like the response in

a natural result of giving too many speeches on the trail. thank goodness we finally have clarity. ben smith, interesting, mitt romney clearly that was his answer if it came up during the debate and he wasn't asked about the 47% comments by the president or the president didn't bring it up. fox news did. the question is, is this thing done? are we done hearing about the 47% thing? did obama lose the most potent weapon in his arsenal? >> of course, not. i'm sure the president's campaign will find a way to bring it back in. imagine if that had been the answer he had given at the press conference that night and also imagine if this debate mitt romney had been the guy running since the spring if this pivot had come earlier, if the conservative movement allowed him to, i think a lot of people around him people he's surrounded by in boston are not hard right conservatives, they're moderates who are nervous about the conservative wing. this new character pivoting in october, very, very late in the race, to do this thing, but it's pretty striking. >> looks like -- doesn't it look like the
